Longshore: Anticipation thread - Page 3

mikelp · 07-04-2009

Rumor has it that Longshore will be a remake of Halo 2's "Headlong" If it is, I will go to Washington and give Bungie a hug!:

"Sketch, can you get this kid off me?....."-Shishka
"Quick Shish, do a barrel roll !!!" -Stosh

=P

The only thing that I know about Longshore is that the theme is Old Mombasa and I believe that it said something about it being the docks. I could see that as Headlong
because Headlong was a city and was located on the shores.

Also, everyone saying "Bungie's remakes suck and have butchered the old maps"

This is the reason to why they arent making another Blood Gulch. People will think that it destroyed these canyon maps because weapons like the laser and missile pod wouldnt work on the map because they destroy everything in sight, Coag is a wide open map and weapons like that would ruin it... or atleast they think that. Thats why Valhalla was made as a slight remake.

Also the remakes: Last Resort, Avalanche, Blackout are all completely different maps. They are considered remakes for the fact that they are similar in gameplay (not exactly the same)
People make a huge deal about how Blackout is bad because it plays bad. I dont really see a difference besides skins and the glass in the center. Other than that, some basic scenery is all that is different.

I think that Avalanche is an amazing map. I think that Last Resort is better than Zanzibar and I see almost no difference in Blackout (but I hardly played H2 online, so I may be missing something) I still think that Headlong would be the most amazing remake in H3 because it was much different from other maps- it was medium size, but very tall.

hmmmm
i was hoping it had something to do with multiple islands and vallhalla bases.

i like that idea, well, nothing personal, but i hope your wrong. :P

Well actually, I'm quite hoping for some kind of body of water to work with, could be great for mini games, and casuals. I'm guessing that it will look something like the beach on last resort.

for those who dont know what Headlong is :
(I feel your pain.... poor...sweet... noobs.... no wait- I played it. I dont feel your pain!)

Heres where I get the shores in "Longshore":

*evil sinckers*

I guess I should post something, that way I don't keep getting "plz tell me" in my VMs. Longshore is a brand new (no remake) BTB map, that is styled very similarly to the campaign level "The Storm". So, forge objects will be of Human nature.

That's all for now, have fun ripping this little factoid apart trying to figure out everything else about the map. I have more details, but this should keep you all at bay for now.

I really hope its not a remake of relic... i didnt like that map much. and i doubt itll be a forge map, considering sandbox just came out. im hoping it a semi-small map, but with good cover and no vehicles. limited power weapons, creating an amplitude of mid range BR battles. NO MORE REMAKES IMO.
